"We are not going to outsource our borders to people smugglers ever again."

The prime minister was quizzed about Mr Shamshiripour’s death and Mr Trump's praise of Australia's tough border policies by Greens MP Adam Bandt.

"People's lives have been broken in immigration detention and yesterday another asylum seeker died on Manus Island," he put to the prime minister.

"Was Donald Trump right when he said that you are worse than he is?"

The question referenced the recently leaked transcript of Mr Turnbull and Mr Trump discussing a refugee swap deal in January.

The prime minister assured the new president the US was not obliged to accept a single refugee, needing only to go through the vetting process for those held in detention to honour the bargain.

Greens senator Nick McKim also disrupted parliament on Tuesday to demand the immediate evacuation of all of those held in detention on Manus Island and Nauru.

“The overwhelming majority of people that Australia has detained on Manus Island and Nauru have been found to be genuine refugees, that is, they have a well-founded fear of persecution, which means they cannot, without being placed in danger, in some cases danger of death, arbitrary imprisonment and torture, be returned to their home countries,” Senator McKim said.

“There are now eight people who have died on Manus Island and Nauru whilst being Australia's responsibility. They have effectively died at Australian hands.”

Dear Australian friends. Please tell to every other Australian to join and follow me because with solidarity we can be like an army .

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees says it is gravely concerned by deteriorating conditions at the Manus Island regional processing centre as authorities shuffle detainees around ahead of its October closure.

"The UNHCR is deeply saddened by the tragic death of a young refugee yesterday, which also highlights the precarious situation for vulnerable people on Manus Island," the agency said.

The UN believes the looming closure of the processing centre, along with the withdrawal of medical care, torture and trauma support and security services, is exacerbating a highly stressful situation for those on the island.

The agency says many of the nearly 800 refugees on Manus Island fear for their safety outside the centre following violent incidents in recent years.

The UN insists critical services on Manus Island must continue, warning any further reduction of fundamental supports for refugees and asylum-seekers would add to the serious health and security risks of detainees.

Hamed Shamshiripour’s death is being investigated by PNG authorities.

The refugees in #Manus are calling for an independent investigation into Hamed's death. The refugees argue that its suspicious.

Following news of the death on Monday, asylum seekers in immigration detention on Nauru posted images and video of a protest calling for the shutdown of offshore immigration centres. There has also been a vigil held on Manus Island.

On Tuesday afternoon Mr Boochani said on Twitter he was concerned about the well-being of another asylum seeker he said was "in critical condition" with "a fractured skull".

He called for the man who was receiving treatment in hospital to be transferred to Australia.

The refugee in critical condition must be taken to Australia now. He has been vomiting blood for two days. Why wasn't he sent urgently?
